The NBA imposes penalty on Bucks for early free agency discussions with Bogdanovic

By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

The NBA has determined the Milwaukee Bucks violated league rules with the timing of Bogdan Bogdanovic’s transaction and will lose their 2022 second-round draft pick, as it has been reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Per Charania, “the NBA investigated an apparent agreement between the Bucks and Bogdan Bogdanovic in free agency, finding that early discussions did occur and constituting conduct detrimental to the league”.

28-year-old Bogdanovic was expected to move to Milwaukee with Justin James, in a trade that included Ersan Ilyasova, Donte DiVincenzo, and D.J. Wilson, but the move was canceled.

Bogdanovic finally inked a deal with the Atlanta Hawks in late November, coming from three seasons with the Sacramento Kings. He  averaged 15.1 points, 3.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 29.0 minutes for the Kings last season (.440 FG%, .372 3FG%, .741 FT%), appearing in 61 games (28 starts).
